After I had the same problems as descripted in this report I decided to give jaunty a last chance: a complete newinstall. Before I had the 64bit Version of Ubuntu 9.04 (cleaninstall) and it crashed as reported without any for me obvious reason several times the day. Now I tried the 32bit version with the same problems in the begining. But: at some point It looked for me that my wifi-card maybe the problem as it had problems to connect to my AP. Dmesg gave me something like "phy0: tx overflow". So I removed it from my PC and no problems since 6 hours while using the PC as with the old installation. It's not that long but at least a begining :-)

For my PC:
AMD Athlon64 4850e
Asus M3A-H/HDMI with onboard grafic and discrete ATI RadeonHD 3470 (Hybrid Crossfire) fglrx 9.6
Allnet all0271 Wifi-Card <-- removed
Ubuntu 9.04 32bit ext3
Linux bruno 2.6.28-13-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:57:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

All in all I have not installed all software that I had installed before in the 64bit-installation but that seems to be no problem as Jaunty 32bit crashed even without all the software (as possible sources of errors) installed.

Maybe that helps as if I remember right someone else had the idea with some sort of a wifi-problem before.
